Where a plaintiff police officer was arrested and fired for misappropriating $600 during the search of a home, the plaintiff’s civil rights were not violated and thus a judgment against him must be affirmed.

Where a multi-count complaint was brought by a plaintiff plastic surgeon following her termination, the defendants’ motion for summary judgment should be denied as to claims for (1) disparate treatment based in gender stereotyping, (2) disparate impact upon part-time employees, (3) retaliation and (4) intentional interference with advantageous business relations.

Where a plaintiff has brought suit after being terminated as a chief executive officer of a defendant corporation, a motion to dismiss the complaint should be allowed except as to claims alleging violations of G.L.c. 93A and the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act.

Where an arbitrator reinstated, with full back pay and benefits, two supervisory employees who were terminated because, as webmasters of the defendant Essex County Correctional Officers Association’s website, they permitted, condoned or encouraged others to post racially and sexually harassing messages on the website and themselves made harassing and otherwise offensive comments on the website, the arbitration award was in excess of authority and contrary to public policy and must therefore be vacated.
